Building Lasting Change: Actionable solutions for decarbonization

June 18-20 | Vancouver

The Canada Green Building Council® is gearing up for Building Lasting Change, Canada’s premier conference for green building professionals. Join us this June to experience the business and technical insights needed to accelerate high-value, resilient and zero-carbon buildings. 

Why attend BLC?

With rising commitments to decarbonize and futureproof assets, demand for green buildings is growing. This industry shift creates opportunities to rethink how we design, construct, operate and finance building and retrofit projects. Today, architects, owners, occupiers, and investors are prioritizing green building to achieve ESG commitments, increase asset value, reduce operational expenses, and stay ahead of evolving standards and regulations. 

Building Lasting Change™ (BLC) offers the insights and connections you need to navigate this market transition. Over two packed days, industry leaders will dive into decarbonization drivers, financing models, regulatory shifts, and practical strategies to decarbonize existing and new buildings.
